FAQs
What does 'stone-dyed' mean for the color?
Stone-dyeing is a process that gives the fabric a unique, faded, and slightly irregular color appearance, similar to a garment that has been washed many times. Each pair may have slight color variations.
How do I determine the best size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Carhartt WIP. The description notes that a model 6'2" wears a size medium, suggesting the sizing may run relatively true to size for a loose-fit garment.
Are these shorts suitable for heavy work?
While made from durable heavyweight cotton denim, their loose fit and low crotch cut are optimized for comfort and style. For very strenuous manual labor, consider Carhartt WIP's dedicated workwear lines.
How should I care for the woven Square Label?
The woven label can be cared for following the general garment washing instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the label.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
Yes, while made of heavyweight denim, the loose fit allows for some airflow. They are suitable for casual wear in moderate to warm weather.
What is the rise of these shorts?
The product description mentions a 'low crotch cut', indicating a lower rise than traditional shorts. Specific measurements would need to be checked against a detailed spec sheet.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness of the denim.
Wear the shorts for extended periods or wash them once before the first significant wear to soften the fabric.
Color bleeding onto other garments.
Wash the shorts separately or with dark-colored items for the first few washes. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing with lighter clothing.
Fit feels too loose.
The shorts are designed with a loose fit. If a tighter fit is desired, consider sizing down, but be mindful of the low crotch cut.

Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold with similar colors.
